I don't like either of those. I'm closer to legal realism in the classical debate (law is the decision of judges). But my own take is that law is a PRIMITIVE PRIMATE RITUAL.

huh? no. I think you are thinking it means "law is whatever I politically want it to be". that's not what it is saying. Maybe you are looking at it normatively rather than descriptively? It is just saying that is how law behaves, it isn't actually based on some natural principles OR human made rules. It is ultimately based on human decision.

no you are wrong. and treating realism as if it already contains a political morality is very stupid.
